Summer science research

In Nanomaterials Chemistry, a 300-level course, students’ microscopic musings become poster-worthy poetry and art.

Over the summer, Lewis & Clark offers students paid, hands-on research experiences that rival those of graduate-level institutions.

Student-faculty collaborative research

Students enrolled in CHEM 330 during Fall 2022 present their research in the poster exhibit “We are all the same, but we are all different”.  In collaboration with Dr. Jean-Philippe Gourdine, Mia Hernandez ’23 discusses the Diversity of Human Hair & Methods of Categorization, and Lara Koyshman ’23 and Maryam Al-Ghezi ’23 present on Tracing Human Migrations with the Microbiome, in and out of Africa.  The posters will be on display in the Watzek Library atrium through March 3.

Liz LeJeune BA ’22 is this year’s recipient of the American Association of University Women (AAUW) Senior Woman Recognition Award, which honors outstanding scholarship as well as significant contributions to campus and community life.

Blauth is one of 417 students selected from a pool of more than 5,000 nationwide for the Barry Goldwater Scholarship, the preeminent award for undergraduates in the natural sciences, engineering, and mathematics.

Two recent Lewis & Clark alumni have been awarded National Science Foundation Graduate Research Fellowships. Three other L&C alumni have been given honorable mentions.

How do you teach an introductory course to a field that is both vast in content and fundamental to understanding inorganic chemistry? Associate Professor of Chemistry Anne Bentley is helping lead an innovative study funded by the National Science Foundation that unites a group of 20 professors and researchers from across the country to develop a groundbreaking inorganic chemistry course.
